Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

['Boro-vol]

I heard that Butch thought he would have a chance to land at UNC or Arizona State if they make a change.

As a FOOTBALL COACH?

Butch obviously has a high fever, or has suffered a sharp blow to the head.

 

[Volbrando]

He is veteran columnist of Memphis paper.
Just now on Finebaum.
Said that Mullen makes the most sense.
Said Grumors are Lochness Monster type and no way it happens.

so many think him coming to TN is a joke

so many are going to be wrong and look dumb :crazy:

It's not that simple. Gruden could be under other contractual obligations with ESPN or his endorsements. He could also be in agreement with the University, that both parties deem it more suitable/ethical for Butch to finish out (or at least reach some predetermined future date). It could also be as simple as the terms of the MOU (or subsequent) and official contract terms are being negotiated.

It's clearly apparent that many here have never been at the table when high stakes deals and negotiations are being decided.

IMHO, we are right where we need to be. I kindly suggest that if you're into rollercoasters, you book a trip to Orlando and ride your little hearts out. This is not the place for more ups and downs than an AA convention.

Yea, why I think the deal is not completed.

A lot of smoke.

No fire yet.

Gruden couldn't sign until a X date in his ESPN contract.

 

[VolGee4]

With FOIA laws, how does a public university get away with not allowing access to a legit member of the media?

This is why I think the local media is tight lipped. They don't want to lose access once a new coach has been fired.

 

[Harry Vols]

There’s also some of them who want Miles.

He’s stubborn and refuses to change his philosophy just like Butch.

Makes no sense.

And like Butch, they can't beat bammer.

 

[LaagerVol]

Seriously. Any argument that 17 year old kids should be let in on this giant secret is absurd. Absolutely no way.

Exactly.

 

[alaVOL]

Time to play the what if game.

What if the Gruden deal is complete but is contingent on Jones completing the season before any announcements of firing or replacement?

Ding. Ding. Ding. epper:

 

[Coastypop]

That makes sense.

I'm not a big Gruden proponent. I think him & Tennessee have too much at risk for him being out of coaching for so long.

But I would be excited to see what Gruden could do. And would applaud the effort by Tennessee at the high risk/ massively high reward a MOTIVATED Gruden could do.

No Guts No Glory !!

 

[VolArmy74]

I just wish they'd reboot Gomer Pyle. Butch immediately has a job at that point and this is all over.

That explains why he didn't notice that Kendrick had a concussion, They both had concussions.

or has suffered a sharp blow to the head.

Yeah, I agree. He is severely damaged goods at this point. And finishing the season is only going to make him look worse. Likely 0-8 in the conference with a ceiling of 2-6. Nobody in P5 is going to touch that.

He would have been better off to negotiate an earlier departure than get saddled with more losses. IMO.

 

[Squints]

A lot of smoke.

I rest my case...

You're like Elmer Fudd, only you're chasing rabbits with an empty barrel.

I didn't say it would happen, just that he thought it was possible. lol: And remember this, Ill. hired Ron Zook, so it's possible. lol:

Wow. It is almost as if no one is allowed to have a pause in their thinking because of multiple streams of info that generally contradict one another.

It is beyond me when people act like anyone that questions the process must be a paste-eating dullard.

I want to believe. I am just sick of limbo. That's where I'm at, but there is no need to presume I'm some idiot that doesn't know anything.

 

[bigmac]

Eventually comment like Trey Wallace made are gonna cause the dam of information break. Lets just hope it does not scare off Gruden
